From one to 48 - every World Cup team ranked after first game

Argentina kicked off their World Cup defence with an emphatic win - but are not the best side at this World Cup so far, according to our BBC Sport experts.

We've brought together a small team of journalists who, between them, have watched every side's opening game.

And they have ranked all 48 teams at the tournament, from first to last.

Lived up to pre-tournament hype with rampant second-half performance. Strength in every position. Deserved favourites.

Scored four. Could have had more. Brilliant attacking performance led by Harry Kane. Slight concerns at the back.

They have Lionel Messi and a team that is lifted by his presence and genius. That's enough to be top three.

Any team that scores seven in their opening fixture cannot be ignored - regardless of the (lack of) quality of the opposition.

Surprise inclusion in the top five. Destroyed Paraguay with a slick performance and have the home crowd on their side.
